Seeing the Horizon With You
By Bill Webb
Dawn on the highway heading west
Keeps us forever chasing shadows.
No map, just follow
Breadcrumbs of white paint
Marking where we’ve yet to go.
Long past South Dakota’s
Fiery fields of sun flowers
Aligned like soldiers
At attention to the light
The long horizon calls.
But we needn’t answer
Content in silence
To share the miles.
You’ve perfectly illustrated one of the constant joys of traveling with you. 🙂

Although the road seems long, we all manage to get there, eventually. But I would like to see the sunflowers on the way.
